KRAMER - MarilynP. Kramer died at home on Thursday, February 24, 2011. Marilyn was born in Chicago, IL on August 3, 1946 and moved to New Mexico with her mother, Phyllis after the death of her father, Joseph Kramer Sr. She was preceded in death by her mother and brothers, John Kramer and Joseph Kramer Jr. Marilyn retired after over 30 years with the US Postal Service where her favorite activity was interacting with her fellow co-workers and friends. She was one of those people that gave her heart to those around her and will be missed by so many. Her family includes her nieces, Kathryn Kramer-Turner (Rolla, MO) and Elizabeth Benderman; her nephews, Ken Kramer (Wichita, KS), Jim Kramer (Frisco, TX), Brian Kramer (Lubbock, TX) and Joe Kramer; and her two sisters in-law, MarilynKramer (Carrollton, TX) and Diane Kramer. Marilyn also had many great-nieces and great-nephews who will hold their memories of her in their hearts. Friends may visit French ~ Wyoming Chapel Friday, March 4, 2011, from 2:00 until 8:00 p.m. Services will be held at French ~ Wyoming Chapel also on Friday at 3:00 p.m. Interment will take place in Chicago, IL. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to your local animal shelter or a charity of your choice.

Memories & Candles

I lost touch with Marilyn after she moved to NM and still feel bad that we didn't try harder to keep in touch.She stood up at my first wedding, came to visit when Julie was one, and called when she came back to visit her Mom's grave.Last spoke with her when she called to say she ran into my ex on the train going west and heard his side!! Still thought the world of this girl with beautiful black, natural curly hair (which she always hated in school).Fond memories of a girl who dearly loved her family and friends.

Aunt Marilyn came into our family by marriage. She made several trips to Lubbock to see Brian and Melissa and little John. Each visit was like a party to celebrate. We loved her and enjoyed being around her. Brady and Aunt Marilyn always talked about the post offiec and both retired the same time. We will truly miss Aunt Marilyn.

We have known Marilyn since she was 10 years old and living in Chicago. She was always a loving, caring person and will always be remembered. We've laughed together and cried together. Last summer, she was able to visit us for a week in Wisconsin, we will always be grateful for that time. She loved sitting on the deck, looking at the lake, and the boat rides.

We have known Marilyn since she was 10 years old and living in Chicago. She was always a loving, caring person and will always be remembered. We've laughed together and cried together. Last summer, she was able to visit us for a week in Wisconsin, we will always be grateful for that time. She loved sitting on the deck, looking at the lake, and the boat rides. When she was leaving, we both agreed we hated goodbyes, so it was tears, a hug and "see you". We never thought it would be the last time.
When Marilyn's brother, John (our brother-in-law) passed away, we planted a tree in honor of him, sadly 3 weeks later, her niece, Pat passed away, another tree was planted. Mariyn took several pictures of these trees through her tears and told us how it made her happpy that we did this. She asked us " would you do the same for me? " We said "of course, what kind would you like". So Marilyn, this year there will be a beautiful pine tree per your request.
See you !!!

Aunt Marilyn was very special to me. We will miss her and cherish the memories. She attended our wedding last August in Hayward, Wisconsin , we had a great time, lots of laughs, talking and fun. It was a long trip for her to drive but Aunt Marilyn really enjoyed her journey.
God bless!!

For many years I worked around the corner from Marilyn's Stamps-by-Mail office in Albuquerque. What I remember most about Marilyn was her wit. She kept me laughing with her (often times dry) sense of humor.

So glad to see you again and enjoyed your company when we were in Hayward. Happy you got to make your trip to Mount Rushmore.
My prayers are with you.

I met Marilyn some 26 years ago when we were both window clerks at the Main Post Office. I remember her mom coming to pick us up for lunch and share many good laughs with us. If you were fortunate enough to be a friend of Marilyn's and had children, she would take such a loving interest in them. Any time we got together for breakfast or lunch, you had better carry along updated pictures of the kids and grandchildren

I met Marilyn some 26 years ago when we were both window clerks at the Main Post Office. I remember her mom coming to pick us up for lunch and share many good laughs with us. If you were fortunate enough to be a friend of Marilyn's and had children, she would take such a loving interest in them. Any time we got together for breakfast or lunch, you had better carry along updated pictures of the kids and grandchildren because that is the first thing she would ask for. I pray that Marilyn can see all the lives she has touched.

Marilyn would always make me laugh and I loved seeing her and helping her with Stamps by Mail. I remember helping her carry all the orders downstairs so they could be mailed. I remember laughing at how people would write inside the orders and trying to decipher some of the writing! She always made me smile!! I loved looking at all the stamps she always had up in her room!
